Compared to General Meng Tian's anger, everyone was silent! When they reached the vanguard army, they were shocked by the scene they saw. Even though they had been in the army for so many years and were already old foxes, the scene of blood flowing everywhere and broken limbs still made them shudder.
This was the real hell on earth!
"Is this your counterattack? It's been half a year and you're finally not hiding anymore. "
Meng Tian looked at his subordinates who did not even dare to breathe. He snorted and did not say anything. They had lost their courage and there was no point in forcing them now. It would only make them more frightened.
Meng Tian's muttering did not escape the ears of his subordinates. This sentence set off perilous waves in their hearts. Counterattack? Could it be that the one who caused the tragedy was not the beast horde but the cowardly general who had been chased by them for half a year and had lost seven hundred thousand of his one million soldiers?
How could this be?
"General, didn't the vanguard army encounter a beast horde?"
A general asked in disbelief.
"Beast horde?" Meng Tian glanced at his subordinates and snorted. "How can a beast horde annihilate my army? Hao Dajun may be simple-minded but he is brave and fierce. Even if they had encountered a large beast horde, thirty thousand soldiers should not have been completely wiped out. Not even a messenger could come out? Also, are the beast horde really so fierce? Thirty thousand soldiers could not even kill one beast? Did you find any traces at the scene? Other than the bites and scratches on the corpses, are there any traces of other beasts? "
Meng Tian's words silenced the group of people. Indeed, this matter was too strange. Now that they thought about it, there were indeed many suspicious points.
"Do you think that in the past six months, no matter who it was, every time we went to war, we would win and the enemy would be so weak?" Meng Tian's lips curled into a cold smile. These words were absolutely certain in the hearts of the generals. However, at this moment, no one dared to say anything. They all remained silent.
"How stupid." Looking at the group of subordinates who were like plague chickens, Meng Tian scolded without any trace of politeness, "Do you really think you are ordinary people who can fight against me? This commander has always been very careful. Even if I won a great victory, I didn't dare to take it lightly. Now, do you really think that the enemy is just a coward? This was a counterattack, the enemy's counterattack. If you don't correct your attitude, an arrogant army will be defeated! "
Meng Tian's words weighed heavily on the generals' hearts. That's right, even if he had never seen the enemy's commander, he would still be able to see the enemy's commander. However, which one of them didn't know that wherever the tip of the spear pointed, the enemy would flee at the mere sight of the wind? Which one of them didn't throw away their helmets and armor and flee in a sorry state? However, they were now told by their own commander that the enemy was not as weak as they had imagined. In fact, it was implied that the enemy was even stronger than them. How could they tolerate this?
Meng Tian didn't care about her subordinates' thoughts. As a commander, he was very clear about his own abilities. He had absolute leadership and was absolutely a man of his word. Therefore, he did not continue to pay attention to them. Instead, he was thinking about what Chu Rui had done and what kind of troops he was using. Even though that young man didn't look like someone who knew how to lead an army to war, he knew how to avoid the brunt of the attack. He had lost seven hundred thousand soldiers in half a year in exchange for not being annihilated. With his learning ability, half a year was more than enough for him to adapt to the battlefield. Furthermore, what worried him the most was that although Chu Rui didn't seem to know much, he was someone from a hundred thousand years in the future. How many geniuses had appeared in the past hundred thousand years? How many geniuses did he know about? If those were used against him, it would be difficult to counter them in a short period of time. At the very least, he had never heard of the troops that Chu Rui was using.
…
A few days later.
"Report …"
A loud voice interrupted Meng Tian and the others who were in the middle of a military meeting.
"Report, our vanguard has been discovered five miles ahead. They … they have been completely annihilated!"
The report from the intelligence soldier caused Meng Tian and the others' expressions to change.
Completely annihilated?
Last time, Hao's thirty thousand men were completely annihilated. Now that they had sent fifty thousand men as the vanguard, they were completely annihilated again?
"Give me the details!"
As the commander of an army, even though his heart was in a state of shock, he couldn't panic. He forced himself to remain calm and asked loudly.
"Just like last time!"
The intelligence soldier didn't describe it in detail. He only used four words to convey his meaning.
"Looks like I've really underestimated him!"
Meng Tian squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Take command of the entire army and strengthen our defenses. All of you, keep your hearts in check. Last time, you might have been lucky. However, this time, you still dare to say that it's a fluke? The enemy must have come prepared. If you don't adjust your attitude and attitude, you will be at a disadvantage! "
Meng Tian fiercely glanced at the generals under his command, and his cold aura made them shiver involuntarily.
…
It was nighttime!
Meng Tian's camp was covered in fire. In the middle of the forest, such a blazing flame was like a signal lamp. However, they had no choice but to light the fire. It was pitch black. If they were ambushed, they would be in trouble. Furthermore, even though this would expose their location, it would also disperse the wild beasts. After all, wild beasts were afraid of fire.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack …"
Suddenly, countless arrows rained down without warning. The soldiers who were patrolling suffered heavy casualties. Some of the arrows landed in the tents and killed some unlucky fellows who were still asleep.
"Retreat!"
Seeing the enemy soldiers wake up from their sleep and ambush the people in the camp, they quickly retreated.
"Where's the enemy? Where's the enemy?"
A group of soldiers came out with weapons in their hands. They were like wolves with red eyes. Disturbing one's sleep was very infuriating. Soldiers had a bad temper. Moreover, marching for a long time was very tiring. It wasn't easy for them to eat their fill and sleep, but they were disturbed. They couldn't take it anymore. However, when they came out, they didn't even see a ghost. If not for the densely packed arrows on the ground and their comrades in the pool of blood, they would have suspected that this was a prank.
The enemy wasn't there. It was pitch black outside. They didn't know where the enemy was and could only give up. However, after four hours, the damned enemy attacked again. The soldiers who had just returned to their tents couldn't help but get up again. They didn't take off their armor. They grabbed the weapons beside them and angrily rushed out of the camp. However, this time, it was the same as last time. They didn't even see a ghost.
Everyone was going crazy!
